The Wizard of Woe!

The investigation into Russian meddling closed in on Donald Trump on Monday, as a former foreign policy adviser pleaded guilty to perjury over his contacts with Russians, and the president’s former campaign manager and another aide faced formal federal charges.

George Papadopoulos, Trump's former foreign policy adviser, pleaded guilty to lying to FBI investigators over his contacts with two people with close ties to the Russian government. One was Joseph Mifsud – who offered “dirt” on Hillary Clinton. Another was a woman who portrayed herself as “Putin’s niece”. (Not THIS George P)

Meanwhile, in a federal courthouse in central Washington, Trump’s former campaign manager, Paul Manafort, and a business associate, Rick Gates, pleaded not guilty to an indictment for money laundering, tax evasion, failure to register as agents for foreign interests, and conspiracy to defraud the US government.

The indictments were just the first issued by Mueller who has broad powers to investigate Russian interference in the 2016 election and possible collusion (conspiracy) by members of the Trump campaign - including Trump himself.

After the indictment of Manafort and Gates, Trump tweeted: “Sorry, but this is years ago, before Paul Manafort was part of the Trump campaign. But why aren’t Crooked Hillary & the Dems the focus?????”

The president added: “...Also, there is NO COLLUSION!”

Trump himself had announced Papadopoulos’s appointment as a foreign policy adviser in March 2016, describing him as “an excellent guy”. The charges, which Papadopoulos accepted as accurate as part of his guilty plea, said Trump was present at a meeting of national security advisers where Papadopoulos boasted of his Russian connections.

The professor referred to in the charges against Papadopoulos is said to have told him that the Russians had “dirt” on Clinton in the form of “thousands of emails” at a meeting around April 26 2016, months before the Russian hack of Democratic party emails became publicly known.

A prosecutor representing Mueller’s office, Aaron Zelinsky, said at the October hearing that the Papadopoulos case was just a “small part” of “a large scale ongoing investigation.”

Collusion itself is not a crime, unless it rises to the level of espionage or treason.

Besides impeachment, Trump could face decades in jail!

"The Cloud" never forgets.

Shoot Jesus, not Smack!

Smack is SLANG.

It's also known as "horse."



I was in Recording Engineers Local 202 for 25 years - you know (Record Plant, CBS Records 120 Howard St, etc).

The "Opium Crisis" is neither a crisis nor is it Opium.

The "Opium Crisis" was Chinese and Buddhist!

The Opium Wars were two wars in the mid-19th century involving disputes over the British Opium trade in China and China's claims of sovereignty.



Trump opened a $60,000 fund to Deal with is. A dew drop in the bucket!

HERE is "What Big Pharma doesn’t want you to know about the opioid epidemic"

But, there is a FIX.

Jesus cures homosexuality! Marcus Bachmann's clinics “cure” patients of homosexuality through a relationship with Jesus Christ.

O.K. "Research shows that gay men's brains resemble those of straight women."

First, reject science!

We do NOT need government intervention in what is clearly a Christian (Church) issue!

This whole issue smacks of socialism! (sarcasm)

We can NOT divert money away from Trump Golf Courses to what is clearly a spiritual issue. Ditto for health care - we just won't have it!

Opioid therapy is the cornerstone of management of severe chronic pain in the field of palliative care medicine such as terminal cancer. We MUST let the dying writhe in pain so they do not become "addicts."

The simple answer is the fool's answer.

Golf is HISTORY

According to the National Golf Foundation, a high of 30.6 million golfers in 2003 had been reduced to 24.7 million by 2014. The number of golfers between ages 18 and 34 has declined by 30 percent over the past 20 years.

His supreme fatness has a problem - golf just isn't what it used to be. No middle class (Reaganonics), no 'base' to underwrite wealthy golfers!

THAT is why el Bluto is spending $75 MILLION of your tax money on HIS golf courses.

The ecological and aesthetic harm caused by most of the world’s 34,000 golf courses — 45 percent of them here in the United States — is widely acknowledged today. Natural habitats have been disfigured and destroyed to create highly organized, artificially watered and unarguably fake nature.

San Jose weighs closing a golf course to stem financial losses

“More than 800 golf courses have closed nationwide in the last decade, as operators grapple with declining interest in the sport and a glut of competition.” Bloomberg News, August 2016

“Golfer numbers are down. Golf equipment sales have been tanking. The number of golf courses closing annually is supposed to dwarf the number of new courses opening for years to come.” Time magazine, June 2014

Trump could have lost hundreds of millions of dollars investing in golf.

He hasn't lost his ass - yet.

dissatisfaction

With Trump eager to directly attack them, a number of republicans no longer wish to be involved.

FACE IT. Trump is toxic!

a growing number of Americans don’t like Trump’s conduct

Trump is historically unpopular, but had continued to be well-received by his base voters ("true believers'). That has kept Trump’s party in line - up to now.

Research shows that voters prefer simplicity. A 2014 study by researchers at Georgetown University and the University of California, Los Angeles found that people find information about politicians more persuasive when they’re presented with simple claims. When given more complex messages, they become more skeptical -- because they begin to realize they’re being ask to THINK.

THAT is why a retard like Trump can get elected!

Trump is no ordinary pile of dung.

Trump is a stinking pile of dung!

Don't ruminate, fumigate!

It's approaching time to disinfect the kleptocracy of trump!

Taxpayers pay "full fare" to Trump Golf properties for the many, many visits Trump makes - helps his bottom line! $75 MILLION - and counting!

"love fest"

Today, Trump deflected the criticism leveled against him by two Republicans, insisting instead that support on Capitol Hill for him amounts to “a love fest.”

Yes, Virginia, there ARE people who are dumb enough to believe that B*LLSH*T!

Trump was reacting to comments by Sens. Jeff Flake (R-Ariz.) and Bob Corker (R-Tenn.), who said Tuesday that Trump was unfit for office.

Both men have announced they are not participating in Trump's kleptocracy as of 2018. (Donald Trump paid a visit to his Trump National Golf Club, Washington, D.C., in Ashburn, Va., on Oct. 22 to play golf. This marked the 75th time Trump has played golf at one of his 17 golf clubs since becoming President on Jan. 20, 2017. Trump rents golf carts from himself - at taxpayer expense.) Trump knows how to flush taxpayer's money down the toilet!

The president tweeted Wednesday morning: “The reason Flake and Corker dropped out of the Senate race is very simple, they had zero chance of being elected. Now act so hurt & wounded!”

In a second tweet, Trump sought to prove that Flake and Corker are outliers by characterizing his closed-door luncheon with Republican senators on Tuesday at the Capitol as “a love fest.”

“The meeting with Republican Senators yesterday, outside of Flake and Corker, was a love fest with standing ovations and great ideas for USA!” Trump tweeted.

Trump's tweets came as Flake continued to excoriate Trump in interviews on television morning shows, and in his op-ed, titled “Enough,” in The Washington Post.
